The Nike Ja 1 & Lebron XX "Summer Vibes" kids' shoes drop May 8 at Hibbett | City Gear.

It's a good day to be a kid. Nike just dropped word of three exclusive kids' releases that are sure to add some color to their summer holidays.

There's been tons of hype over the release of Ja Morant's first signature shoe — and now kids can get in on the action. The Nike Ja 1 “Sundial” comes in shades of Sundial, Cobalt Bliss and white and will be a grade school kids' exclusive.

Also hitting stores soon is the Nike LeBron 20 "Summer Vibes." With hues of Celestial Gold, Cobalt Bliss and Space Purple, this kick clearly takes inspiration from LeBron's LA Lakers. It'll be available in both grade school kids' and preschool kids' sizes. All of these shoes drop on May 8.

Nike Ja 1 & Lebron 20 Summer Vibes Side By Side

The Ja 1 looks fierce with a light blue mesh upper and green, white, blue and yellow camo overlays at the forefoot. A yellow Swoosh wraps from the middle on both sides and connects at the heel. Green laces cover the light blue tongue, which features contrasting branding on each shoe. The left has a green patch with a teal Ja logo, while the right is the inverse.

The heel has an embroidered yellow "12," along with a teal overlay featuring Ja's signature in green. Beneath this is a white midsole with blue speckles and a multicolor swirled outsole.

The two versions of the LeBron 20 are mostly the same but have a few key differences. Both share a yellow knitted upper with purple accent threads throughout. There's also the classic double Swoosh on the lateral middle. The top Swoosh is a holographic material that shifts from red to purple to teal, while the bottom one is a solid purple with yellow stitching. The medial side has just one purple Swoosh.

On the grade school shoe, purple laces feature a yellow "XX" lace dubrae as well as an "X" tie down. The preschool shoe doesn't have these details, instead opting for a velcro ankle strap that's more likely to keep your kid locked in. Both tongues, however, feature King James' signature embedded on them.

The shoe finishes off with a cornflower blue midsole, golden heel clip and purple map-tread outsole.

If you're trying to get your little ones in the game, these basketball shoes will give them all the tools they need. Pair them with equally baller threads, like black basketball shorts, white crew socks and either a Morant or LeBron jersey.

Who says kids are too young to play? Give them a taste of the hardwood life with either the Nike Ja 1 “Sundial” in grade school kids' sizes or the Nike LeBron 20 "Summer Vibes" in grade school kids' and preschool kids' sizes. Score both starting May 8, online or at your local Hibbett | City Gear. If you've accidentally missed out on launch day, follow our sneaker launch calendar so you'll never miss another release.
